I think we are just fine with Houston’s radical mayor showing her true colors (besides the rainbow, that is).

Maybe their sermons are free speech and you need to be removed from office because it’s obvious you are using your official capacity to infringe on the constitutional rights of others to intimidate them into silence about your own perversion.

This was posted previously. I will be joining in this effort:

Mayor Annise Parker Needs a Bible. Will You Send Her One?

I figure, if they want the sermons, what better source, then THE SOURCE!

I think the better response by the ministers would have been...Jesus would have invited all lost souls to come into his church and hear his word....so we won’t provide you a paper copy of our Sunday sermon, but you can come and worship with us....hearing the word for yourself.

At that point, the poker game would have ended.

I should also point this out....most ministers from the 1940s and 1950s....had a scrap piece of paper with two or three quotes and made up the thirty minute sermon from actual Bible knowledge and where the enthusiasm was taking them. They would have laughed if some guy asked for a copy of the Sunday sermon...there simply wasn’t one.

Anyone else notice a bit of a puzzle in this statement:
“Feldman is monitoring the case, he said, but had not seen the subpoena written by outside counsel working pro-bono for the city until this week. “

They used an outside attorney and one who was working pro-bono??? Why was an outside attorney working for free to make a subpoena for the city. Maybe someone who actually works for a gay-rights organization which offered their services to achieve their own aims.

Ok freepers, I think this might be worth checking out—who prepared the subpoena and why weren’t they paid???

So why does the government get to sermonize any idea and force it down the throat of others but not accept any criticism of violations of the peoples rights?

Someone should subpoena her emails on the basis that she is targeting Christian organizations.

The lawyers did pro bono in order to secute work on future bond issues. The bond issues are quite lucrative for a lawfirm.

If this is not an Ethical Violation worthy of permanent disbarment what is??

If this is not an attempted Extortion of these Pastors what is?? (threatening CRIMINAL ACTION in a Civil Matter) the very act of the subpoena demonstrates this in spades

If this is not a Blatant Deprivation of Rights case what is??

Has the Attorney General Launched an investigation into the unethical and possible criminal behavior of these lawyers involved for political purposes??

WHY NOT??

You get what you vote for as well as the employees that go along with the results.

Someone once said “If you were arrested for being a Christian would there be enough evidence to convict you?”

One particular pastor in Houston (according to sermons I have heard on TV) would never be arrested. Going along to get along just isn’t scriptural!

“...and I’m vilified coast to coast”, Parker said.

So now the bull dyke whips out the victim card. In SF & other liberal horror shows, butch lezzies have been known to invade churches whose message they didn’t like.

Will these five pastors soon be visited by Dykes on Bikes?

And who was reviewing the work of outside counsel if the City Attorney in charge is not doing it?

He is "monitoring the case" but not reviewing the documents being filed on behalf of the city by an unpaid outside party!

It is becoming obvious that the MSM is being run by homosexuals at all levels of supervision.

RE: 6

Every one in this Country has a Bible (and often multiple Bibles) - or easy access to the Bible. The problem is getting them to read it. As Charles Spurgeon said, people can take their Bibles off their bookshelves and use their finger to write the word 'Damnation' on the dust of that unopened Bible.

Send Bibles to foreign countries where people can really use them and they actually really want them. Sending it to a God rejecting Sodomite major is akin to casting pearls before a swine.
Send her some tracts maybe...
